Tiktuknu: summary of the day's events in sports, 25.11 (Sport1)
It is no secret that many countries in the world try to use sports to improve their image around the globe.
Many teams in Europe have been bought in the last two decades by investors, from Russia, China and the Middle East, and we may be at the beginning of a new chapter for two of the grandest clubs in the old continent.
As you may remember, at the beginning of the month the owners of Liverpool announced that they were putting the club up for sale, and they were recently joined by the Glazer family, who announced that they were looking for a new owner for Manchester United.
The one who is already polishing his eyes towards investing in the two powers of the Premier League is the Saudi Minister of Sports, Abdelaziz Bin Turki Al Faisal.
As you may remember, the Saudis bought Newcastle last season, but according to the interview given by the minister to the British media, the desert kingdom is not satisfied with that.
"It's the most watched league in the country and in the entire region, there are a lot of Premier League fans. I can't speak for private businessmen, but there is a lot of interest, hunger and passion for football. We will definitely support if a private Saudi Eskimo comes into the picture, because it will have a positive effect on the sport in the country." .

The one who is also in the sights of the Saudis is Cristiano Ronaldo.
As you know, the Portuguese refused the offer to come to Saudi Arabia last summer, but his release from Manchester United made the local Al Hilal interested in bringing him again.
"Ronaldo in the Saudi league? Everything is possible. I would love to see him in our league, it will help the league and be an inspiration to young people. He is a role model for many children and has a wide fan base."
